<p>I will be a freshman attending community college this upcoming fall 2009. I already started doing supplements for college and written my personal statements for the several schools I plan on attending. Although, my highschool grades aren't good(2.0gpa), but I have had good extracurriculars and community service. I also done community service throughtout the summer. I am also planning to participate withing my community college clubs and do a internship at fashion magazine, this fall. I've also planned out to reach with some of the schools I want to attend when they visit my city, as well sign up for information about their school.</p>
<p>I was wondering what are my chances realistically into transfering to Yale, Cornell, Boston U, Syracuse, NYU and Northeastern as a sophomore for Fall 2009? Also, is there any advice would you give to me before I start? I am very determined to standing out and being able to transfer to any of these schools. </p>
<p>As a sophomore, your chances will be low. The longer you are in college, the less impact your HS grades will have. You have a good range of schools you’re looking at (in terms of difficulty), however, the problem lies in your low HS GPA. You’ll have only finished 1 semester by the time you apply so they will play a huge part. If you are serious about applying to your schools, you may want to consider applying for junior year. Then you will have a chance to prove that you’ve turned around and can handle the coursework.</p>
<p>However, with your current statistics, I’d say you will probably be rejected at all of the schools you are applying for.</p>
<p>Well, my school offers two sessions in one semester with enough time to submit both GPAs and rounding my credit total around 24 before the general March 1st deadline for this schools? Should I try to reach at least for the non-ivy’s? </p>
<p>Transferring as a junior student isn’t really ideal to myself or current situation. </p>
<p>You may have a shot at Northeastern, Syracuse and maybe Boston U if you do very well and have appropriate SAT scores. The thing that would concern me is if you need financial aid, chances will be much better as a full pay.</p>
<p>The the above advice is correct, much better chances as a junior transfer.</p>
